Description

TRIPLE COMBINATION OF HISTAMINE-3 RECEPTOR INVERSE AGONISTS, ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS AND NMDA RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to histamine-3 receptor (H3R) inverse agonists or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s) thereof in combination with or as adjunct to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) and N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. The present invention further relates to the use of the combination and the pharmaceutical composition containing the said combination in the treatment of cognitive disorders.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. The exponential rise in the number of cases of AD in the past and the future projection over the next few decades is anticipated to result in great pressure on the social and health-care systems of developed and developing economies alike. AD also imposes tremendous emotional and financial burden to the patient’s family and community.
The current list of approved cognitive enhancing drugs for AD is not long and historically been focused on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine and galantamine). These drugs act by inhibiting the hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh) into acetate and choline by targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. Increasing the ACh levels in the synapse can stimulate cholinergic receptors and promote memory function. Although acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) can temporarily delay the progression of cognitive decline in AD, their effects are modest. ACh being present both in the central and peripheral nervous system, AChEIs produce several undesirable side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, bradycardia and excessive salivation that are associated with an action on peripheral muscarinic cholinergic receptors (Expert Opinion on Drug Safety, 3, 2004, 425-440). The limitation of AChE inhibitor class of drugs is that they are poorly tolerated, their efficacy is not
WO 2018/033848
PCT/IB2017/054939 sustained and they require constant dose-titration as the disease progresses (Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, 2006, CD005593) which lead to significant patient noncompliance. The incidence and the severity of these side effects increase with the dose amount and in general more pronounced at the 5 initiation of the treatment or after dose increase. Hence there is an unmet need of alternate therapy for treating cognition disorders.
The H3R is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), mainly expressed in the anterior part of the cortex, hippocampus and the striatum. H3RS function as both autoreceptors and heteroreceptors. It modulates the synthesis and release of 10 several neurotransmitters which play an important role in cognition, mood and sensory gating. Preliminary literature reports suggest that H3R antagonists may have promising utility for the treatment of various CNS disorders including AD, schizophrenia, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy, narcolepsy, neuropathic pain and metabolic disorders. Antagonism of this receptor 15 by several investigational compounds has been shown to improve learning and memory in animal models.
Since blocking H3R modulates histaminergic and cholinergic activity, one might expect H3R inverse agonist to complement and/or augment cognitive function of AChEIs. This may in turn help to reduce side effects with better 20 patient compliance and thus can be administered over a long period.
The glutamatergic system is also involved in learning and memory and is a target for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Memantine, another approved treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, acts on the glutamatergic system by inhibiting NMDA receptor under conditions of excess stimulation. It may act to protect 25 glutamate neurons from excessive glutamate stimulation, while increasing the signal to noise ratio. It is known that glutamate neurons have synaptic connections on cholinergic neurons in brain areas associated with learning and memory.
Since the cause and development of the dementia depend on the different mechanisms, it may be an advantageous to use the combination of drugs working 30 in different mechanism for the treatment of AD. The current approved treatment for AD includes the combination of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, donepezil and
WO 2018/033848
PCT/IB2017/054939
NMDA receptor antagonist, memantine. However, there remains the need for the new drugs/combination to treat the patients with AD.
The compounds of the present invention are H3R inverse agonists with high affinity and very high selectivity over closely related receptor subtypes and 5 improves learning and memory in animals. The H3R inverse agonist compounds mentioned here are described in US9079888B2 which is incorporated by reference. The preparation of these compounds is given in the said patent.
As the treatment of AD is chronic in nature, there is a desperate unmet medical need for better and safer treatment options. A therapeutic strategy eagerly 10 sought for AD patients is to target an improvement with an adjunct to existing therapies that would bring additional relief for patients, lower the burden on the caregiver and allow the patient to enjoy a better quality of life without the need for institutional care and/or hospitalization.
The instant invention provides H3R inverse agonist compounds or the 15 pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s) thereof, which enhances the cognitive function of patients on treatment in combination with AChEIs and NMDA receptor antagonist. The present invention is based on the unusual finding that the combination of compounds with H3R inverse agonist activity, the compounds which act as AChEIs (for example donepezil) and the compounds which act as 20 NMDA receptor antagonists (for example memantine), demonstrate synergistic effect in their pharmacological activity. Memantine acts by blocking the glutamatergic neurotransmissions in the brain when the levels are excessively high. Histamine modulates the release of glutamate from corticostriatal nerve terminals. Hence it is not anticipated that the combination of a H3R inverse 25 agonist + donepezil + memantine would result in synergistic pro-cognitive effects.
However surprisingly, the combination of H3R inverse agonist + AChEIs + NMDA receptor antagonist (triple combination) showed synergistic effects in animal models and also increased the levels acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter which plays a vital role in cognitive improvement. Based on these results one can 30 infer that such combined administration and/or co-treatment of H3R inverse agonist + AChEIs + NMDA receptor antagonist, may result in beneficial effect to
WO 2018/033848
PCT/IB2017/054939 improve the therapeutic efficacy in humans. Further the H3R inverse agonist compounds or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt(s) thereof of the instant invention enhances the effect of the AChEIs and NMDA receptor antagonist in the treatment of cognitive disorders.

Incubation conditions:
Increasing concentrations of test compounds and/or vehicle is preincubated with the membranes (0.09 mg/mL) and 10 μΜ GDP in modified HEPES pH 7.4 buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA) for 20 minutes and SPA beads are then added for another 60 minutes at 30°C. The reaction is initiated by 0.3 nM [35S]GTPyS for an additional 30 minutes incubation period. Test compound-induced increase of [35S]GTPyS binding by 50 percent or more (>50 %) relative to the 3 μΜ R(-)-amethylhistamine response indicates possible histamine-3 receptor agonist activity. Test compound induced inhibition of 0.03 μΜ R(-)-a-methylhistamine-induced increase of [ S]GTPyS binding response by 50 percent or more (>50 %) indicates receptor antagonist activity. These studies were conducted and the data were analyzed at Eurofins Panlabs Taiwan Ltd, Taiwan using standard radioligand binding techniques as described above.
Results:
Compound 1 exhibits inverse agonist like properties in GTPyS assay on human recombinant histamine-3 receptor with IC50 value of 20 nM.

Example 3: Object Recognition Task Model
The cognition enhancing properties of compounds of this invention were estimated by using this model.
Male Wistar rats (8-10 weeks old) were used as experimental animals. Four animals were housed in each cage. Animals were kept on 20 % food deprivation from a day prior to experimentation. Water was provided ad libitum throughout the experiment. Animals were maintained on a 12 hours light/dark cycle in temperature and humidity controlled room. The experiment was carried
WO 2018/033848
PCT/IB2017/054939 out in an open field made up of acrylic. Rats were habituated to individual arenas (open field) in the absence of any objects on day 1.
Rats received vehicle, donepezil and memantine or test compound, donepezil and memantine on the day of habituation, before familiar (Ti) and 5 choice (T2) trials. During the familiarization phase (Ti), the rats were placed individually in the arena for 3 minutes, in which two identical objects (ai and a2) were positioned 10 cm from the wall. 24 hours after Ti, trial for long-term memory test was assessed. The same rats were placed in the same arena as they were placed in Ti trial. During the choice phase (T2) rats were allowed to explore 10 the arena for 3 minutes in presence of a copy of familiar object (a3) and one novel object (b). During the Ti and T2 trial, explorations of each object (defined as sniffing, licking, chewing or having moving vibrissae whilst directing the nose towards the object at a distance of less than 1 cm) were recorded using stopwatch.
Ti is the total time spent exploring the familiar objects (ai + a2).
T2 is the total time spent exploring the familiar object and novel object (a3 +b).
Discriminative index is ratio of time spent exploring the novel object divided by sum of time spent exploring the novel object and familiar object in choice trial (T2).
The object recognition test was performed as described in Behavioural
Brain Research, 1988, 31, 47-59.
Results:
Vehicle treated animals spent almost equal time exploring the novel and the familiar objects. The groups treated with combination of test compound, 25 donepezil and memantine spent significantly more time exploring the novel object. No significant increase in discriminative index was observed in the group treated with donepezil and memantine when compared to the vehicle treatment. However the group co-treated with test compounds, donepezil and memantine showed significant improvement in the memory end point (discriminative index). 30 This procognitive effect suggests a potentiating effect of test compounds over the

Example 4: Evaluation of acetylcholine modulation in medial prefrontal cortex of male Wistar rats
Neurotransmitter modulating effects of triple combination were evaluated by this model.
Male Wistar rats (240-300 g body weight) were stereotaxically implanted with a microdialysis guide cannula in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; AP: +3.2 mm, ML: -0.5 mm, DV: -3.0 mm) under isoflurane anesthesia. Co-ordinates were taken according to atlas for the rat brain (Paxinos and Watson, 2004) with reference points taken from bregma and vertical from the skull. The rats were allowed to recover individually for four days in a round bottom Plexiglas bowl with free access to feed and water.
After surgical recovery of 4 days, male Wistar rats were connected to dual quartz lined two-channel liquid swivel (Instech, UK) on a counter balance lever arm, which allowed unrestricted movements of the animal. Sixteen hours before start of the study, a pre-equilibrated microdialysis probe (2 mm dialysis membrane) was inserted into mPFC through the guide cannula. On the day of study, probe was perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF; NaCl 147 mM, KC1 2.7 mM, MgCl2 1 mM, CaCl2. 2H2O 1.2 mM, pH 7.4) at a flow rate of
1.5 pL/min and a stabilization period of 2 hours was maintained. Five basal samples were collected at 20 min intervals prior to the treatment of test compounds (3 or 10 mg/kg, p.o.} or vehicle. Donepezil (1 mg/kg, s.c.} and memantine (1 mg/kg, s.c.) were administered 30 min after administration of test compounds. Dialysate samples were collected for an additional period of 4 h post treatment of test compounds. Dialysates were stored below -50°C prior to analysis.
Quantitation of acetylcholine:
Acetylcholine concentrations in dialysates were quantified using LCMS/MS based method.
WO 2018/033848
PCT/IB2017/054939
Statistical analysis:
All microdialysis data for acetylcholine was plotted as percent change from mean dialysate basal concentrations with 100 % defined as the average of five pre-dose values. The percent change in acetylcholine levels were compared 5 with donepezil and memantine combination using two-way analysis of variance (time and treatment), followed by Bonferroni’s posttest. Area under the curve (AUC) values for percent change in acetylcholine levels was calculated and the statistical significance between the mean AUC values was compared against donepezil and memantine treatment using unpaired “f ’ test. Statistical significance 10 was considered at a p value less than 0.05. Incorrect probe placement was considered as criteria to reject the data from animal.

Results:
Compound 1
Treatment with donepezil and memantine produced increase in acetylcholine levels to the maximum of 1726 ± 297 % of basal levels. The increase in acetylcholine after combination of compound 1, donepezil and 20 memantine was significantly higher compared to donepezil and memantine combination. Mean maximum increase in acetylcholine was observed to be 2968 ±585 of pre-dose levels after triple combination (Figure 2(a)).
Mean area under the curve values (AUC) calculated after the treatment of compound 1, donepezil and memantine were significantly higher compared to 25 donepezil and memantine combination (Figure 2(b)).
Compound 2
Treatment with donepezil and memantine produced increase in acetylcholine levels to the maximum of 1365 ± 249 % of basal levels. The increase in acetylcholine after combination of compound 2, donepezil and 30 memantine was significantly higher compared to donepezil and memantine
WO 2018/033848
PCT/IB2017/054939 combination. Mean maximum increase in acetylcholine was observed to be 2696 ± 504 % of pre-dose levels after triple combination (Figure 3(a)).
Mean area under the curve values (AUC) calculated after treatment of compound 2, donepezil and memantine were significantly higher compared to 5 donepezil and memantine combination (Figure 3(b)).
Compound 3
Treatment with donepezil and memantine produced increase in acetylcholine levels to the maximum of 1375 ± 461 % of basal levels. The increase in acetylcholine after combination of compound 3, donepezil and 10 memantine was significantly higher compared to donepezil and memantine combination. Mean maximum increase in acetylcholine was observed to be 2674 + 271 of pre-dose levels after triple combination (Figure 4(a)).
Mean area under the curve values (AUC) calculated after treatment of compound 3, donepezil and memantine were significantly higher compared to 15 donepezil and memantine combination (Figure 4(b)).
Example 5: Evaluation of theta modulation in dorsal hippocampus of anesthetized male Wistar rats
Effect of triple combination on brain activity as a pharmacodynamic 20 endpoint is evaluated using this model.
Male Wistar rats (240-320 g) were anesthetized by intraperitoneal administration of urethane (1.2 to 1.5 g/kg) for implantation of a catheter in the left femoral vein. The animal was placed in a stereotaxic frame for implanting an electrode (stainless steel wire, Plastics One) into the dorsal hippocampus (AP: 25 3.8 mm; ME: +2.2 mm; DV: -2.5 mm; Paxinos and Watson, 2004). Bipolar stimulating electrode (untwisted stainless steel wires, separated by 0.75-1.0 mm at their tips, Plastics One) was implanted in the Nucleus Pontis Oralis (NPO; AP: 7.8 mm; ME: 1.8 mm; DV: -6.0 mm; Paxinos and Watson, 2004). Additionally one electrode was implanted into the cerebellum which served as a reference.
Hippocampal Θ rhythm was evoked via a 6-s electrical stimulation train (20-160 μΑ, 0.3-ms pulse duration, 250 Hz) delivered to the NPO at a rate of 0.01 trains/s
